3 things we know about Steelers vs. Colts

The rivalry between the Pittsburg Steelers and Indianapolis Colts began back in 1984. Prior to that, they were known as the Baltimore Colts. They have played each other regularly going back to 2014 and this week it’s a case of the Steelers trying to hold serve as the best in the AFC and the Colts trying to salvage their season.

Here are three things we know about the upcoming game.

The Steelers have owned the rivalry

Overall the Steelers own a 23-6 record lifetime. In recent seasons Pittsburgh has owned this rivalry as well. The Steelers have won the last four meetings and five of the last six. The two teams played just last season at Lucas Oil Stadium with Pittsburgh coming out on top 28-7.

The calm before the storm

This week’s game will mark the last day kickoff Pittsburg will get for a month. Pittsburgh plays four straight primetime games in a row following this week so if there was ever a case for a look ahead at the schedule this might be it.

Injuries on both sides are an issue

It sounds like the Steelers could be without starting strong safety Mike Mitchell. He’s still dealing with an ankle injury and even after the bye is still limited in practice. On the other side, cornerback Vontae Davis is out so both teams could be without key pieces of the puzzle on defense.
